Abstract Children who have been adopted are more likely to have mental health diagnoses than non-adopted peers and may be overrepresented in residential treatment centers (RTCs). Yet, few studies have examined adoptive parents’ experiences with RTCs. We administered a survey to N = 113 adoptive parents who had at least one child in RTC. Many families utilized services such as family therapy, but fewer used adoption-competent therapists or trauma-informed care. Themes emerged related to finding support, connecting with providers, training in a trauma-informed approach, listening to parents, and shifting toward prevention. Implications are discussed to better support adoptive families.

收养家庭对安置治疗中心前有效服务的看法

摘要 被领养的儿童比未领养的同龄人更有可能进行心理健康诊断，并且在住院治疗中心 (RTC) 中的人数可能过多。然而，很少有研究调查养父母对 RTC 的体验。我们对 N = 113 名至少有一个孩子在 RTC 的养父母进行了一项调查。许多家庭使用家庭治疗等服务，但很少使用具有收养能力的治疗师或创伤知情护理。出现的主题与寻求支持、与提供者联系、以创伤知情方法培训、倾听父母的意见以及转向预防有关。讨论了更好地支持收养家庭的影响。
